Old Testament
It depicts a series of beginnings—the beginning of the world, of humankind, and of God’s promise to the Israelites. Genesis, the first book, opens with God’s creation of the world. The perfect world falls into evil when humans disobey God, and the human population divides into separate nations and languages.

Main points of Old Testament
First Sin Story (Adam and Eve)
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Noah and his Ark
6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Tower of Babel (causing differing languages)
At first, the whole earth uses the same language to communicate. Eventually, as people settle on the plain of Shinar, they decide to build a city and a brick-and-mortar tower that reaches to heaven. By doing so, they hope to “make a name” for themselves. The LORD observes the people’s city and tower and sees that, having one language, the people will be able to do whatever they want. He determines to confuse the people’s language so that they cannot understand one another.
Abraham's Personal Covenant with God
we learn about further promises and responsibilities the Lord revealed pertaining to the Abrahamic covenant. In connection with this covenant, the Lord changed Abram’s name to Abraham and Sarai’s name to Sarah. Circumcision became a sign or token (a reminder) of the covenant between God and Abraham.
Test of Abraham (to sacrifice Isaac)
God had a long endearing relationship with Abraham. They were very close. God would often consult Abraham before making his decisions. In Genesis 22, God seeks to further improve and better his relationship with Abraham.
Isaac's Blessing (given to Jacob, not Esau, by trickery)
When Isaac is old and unable to see, he calls Esau to him. Isaac explains that he doesn’t know when he will die, so he wants Esau to hunt and prepare some game for him, just the way he likes it. Overhearing this, Rebekah tells Jacob to get two kids from the flock; she will prepare them for Isaac, and Isaac will then give Jacob his blessing. Jacob worries that if Isaac touches him, he will know that Jacob is not Esau—Esau is much hairier. So Rebekah covers Jacob with Esau’s garments and also places the kids’ skins on his hands. Then Jacob carries the prepared meal to Isaac.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:52-54 (KJV)
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.”
1 TIMOTHY 4:1 (KJV)
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.”
MATTHEW 24:21 (KJV)
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
“And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.”
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
